    Took me forever to load! I only got 2 Gig of RAM and 2.8 GHZ, but still, it should not have taken THIS long!

    I was surprised to find that i liked what i saw and the load times for me were roughly 2-5 mins so quite tolerable. Also that it works on my comp fairly smoothly on medium.

    I have found something that i took forgranted in Med 2 and Rome. You cant zoom across the battle field by double clicking where you want to go.
    Plus i find for the first time in TW i have to occaisionally use the pause button. This may mean more chaotic MP battles, but hopefully not.
    Though naval seems to be alright occaisionally my plan is ruined by a ship or two just going off on its or thier own somewhere.

    The short missile ranges means very low reaction time that's for sure. Plus cav appears to have gone back to RTW speeds (very fast) for at least the lighter types.

    I'm sure lots of people will love it, but I doubt I'll find much enjoyment in such gameplay.

    I played the landbattle twice and Im happy to say I liked it. It felt so much better then rtw and mtwII both with controls and speed. True one can make good use of the cav units but the enemy inf flee fast from my own inf aswell so I dont think it really matters in this demo what units I use.

    And its only a demo but compared with the rtw demo this is superb. (loadingtimes are horrid yes, i thought something was wrong with my comp at first, but once it loaded it ran smooth without any lag)

    If "multiplayer-infrastructure" is equally to my liking (in game chat, not always lag or connections issues and so on) I think there are great times ahead.

    Im definitly buying the game.

    If I remember looking at your specs in a thread and comparing them to mine I had a marginly better pc than you but I can relate to the long load times.

    Not sure how it is for you but once the battle had loaded it ran fine on low and medium settings.
